Ginger Island, a privately owned island in the British Virgin Islands, is often avoided by yacht charter and bareboat charter crews due to its few protected anchorages. However, it offers unique opportunities for fishing and diving.
Anchorages
- Limited Protected Anchorages: Ginger Island has limited spots for safe anchoring. Sailors often avoid it due to the lack of protected areas, but it can be an option for those looking for a more secluded spot.
Fishing
- Windward Side Fishing: The windward side of Ginger Island is a good location for fishing, particularly for catching mahi. The currents and conditions here are favorable for big catches. We've hooked up on mahi several times on the shelf area next to the South Drop
Diving
- Diving Spots: Ginger Island boasts a few notable dive spots, including the nearby Carval Rock. These spots are known for their underwater scenery and marine life, making them popular among divers.
